Thank you, Leanne. Welcome, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. I am pleased to report that revenue in the second quarter grew 10% sequentially. Trading volume improved demand across all our geographies and the end-markets as we continue to gain market share.

The quarter benefit from the launching of new projects for our products used in smartphones and the tablets. Well, Diodes is very well positioned. As you may recall, we achieved, strong and seasonal result last quarter. It proved to be the low point in the demand cycle. These are both market growth as we saw in market share gains and it served as the basis of continued growth in the second and third quarters.

Additionally, margins improved in the second quarter as we began to slowly shift our mix to higher margin products while also maintaining from our new product initiatives and the manufacturing efficiency is important. When the demand and pricing environment improves, we can continue to transition available capacity to higher margin products to further enhance our product mix and the margins.

At the end of the quarter, we completed the construction of our Chengdu facility. We have begun the process of obtaining final acceptance of the buildings and are now installing power which may take nine to ten months. We play to close our (inaudible) and move it to the new facility and start production in next year.

More equipment additions to the building would be met in (inaudible) market requirements. This facility would be an important asset for our future growth and expansion. As we get through the second half of 2012, we are approaching the challenging environment cautiously. As we began to see demand moderate in tune and the growth in China has proven to be softer than expected.

That said, we still expect to achieve continuous growth in the third quarter and have met target capital expenditure in our Shanghai facilities to increase capacity for specific package and products. We remain focused on increasing design win activity, capitalizing on the introduction of new products and overall efficiencies.

With that, I will now turn the call over to Rick to discuss our second quarter financial results and the third quarter guidance in more detail.
